When King Yeqing arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prince Yin had already withdrawn from the imperial city.

Because King Qin was fierce and the two sides were deadlocked, Prince Yin asked people to withdraw five miles of road and set up camp.

And the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, as usual, was only guarded by the Yulin garrison.

"You, you, you're in trouble." The first thing King Yeqing said when he saw Jiang Yu was like this.

"How can His Royal Highness King Yeqing be condescending and have time to come to me as a guest?" Jiang Yu said this without being salty or light.

"There was an accident in the Xu Mansion, and Xu Baisen was detained in the prison. Now your wife is also under the control of the Queen of Heaven. Jiang Xiang, this king will see how long your concubine can be proud. ”

"Something happened to the Xu Mansion?" Jiang Yu thought about the previous incident, and his heart tightened: "It was my negligence." ”

Only when Gan Peilin is mentioned can I find a trace of panic from Jiang Yu's calm and cold face. will make people feel that he is not so invulnerable.

"The queen mother wants this king to personally accompany you into the palace to face the saint." King Yeqing said with deep eyes: "Jiang Xiang, can we go?" ”

"I'll change my clothes later, Your Highness." When Jiang Yu was concentrated, he glanced at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao immediately summoned someone to accompany King Yeqing, and he followed Jiang Yu to the back compartment.

"There was an accident in the Xu Mansion, and the lady was imprisoned in the palace." Jiang Yu's eyebrows were cold: "You hurry up and go to find out that Xu Mansion was framed by Heren, and in addition, to protect the safety of Xu Baisen and his wife, there is no room for mistakes." If the situation is urgent, there is no longer any need to rob the prison and rob the people. ”

"My subordinates understand." Lu Yao respectfully responded, but this time, he did not accompany Jiang Yu into the palace.

Later in the evening, he sneaked into the Flowing Heart Building with the swallow.

"Madame, please have dinner." The maid brought some simple coarse food and put it on the table, and then got up and retreated.

Gan Peilin glanced at the snow-white steamed buns and heads, and was really a little hungry.

The steamed steamed buns are fluffy and soft, and it is comfortable to eat when you break a piece and put it in your mouth.

"Madam......" Yanzi pushed the door in, and when she saw Gan Peilin eating, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Aren't you afraid of the Queen Mother's poisoning?" ”

"What she wants is me as a hostage, how can she be poisoned?" Gan Peilin looked at her and Lu Yao with warm eyes, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed: "At this time, the Queen Mother should let her husband enter the palace, right?" ”

"Yes." Lu Yao walked in quickly: "My subordinates have already asked people to go to the prison to inquire about the situation of the Xu family's son. The people who sent there haven't heard from anyone else. Don't worry, ma'am. The master's meaning is that if someone is unfavorable to the son, he would rather rob the prison to ensure the safety of the child. ”

"No, you don't." Gan Peilin said calmly: "Just let Xu Baisen stay in the prison." It's not yet time for him to make a move. ”

"Madame means ......" Lu Yao looked at Gan Peilin in some surprise, always feeling that all this seemed to be in her expectation.

"In these troubled times, what could be safer than a prison?" Gan Peilin asked with a smile.

"Madame, what do you mean...... The slave doesn't understand. The swallow also felt strange.

Gan Peilin looked at the two of them calmly, and said with warm eyes: "I deliberately let people fake the decree and transfer Xu Baisen back to the imperial city." Ji Yang's battle, in fact, we won. The total annihilation of the army was nothing more than an illusion created by the corpses of the enemy. The soldiers who were replaced continued to defend Jiyang in place of the enemy to ensure that the local people would not suffer from disasters. ”

"Madam, you've played a big game of chess." The swallows were all kept in the dark, and they really couldn't believe it.

"I had already started deploying before the brittle core had an accident." Gan Peilin's eyebrows moved slightly: "Guess who is the general who triumphed in Jiyang?" ”

The two men glanced at each other, militarily shaking their heads.

"My maternal grandfather, Xu Zhongshen." Gan Peilin said the name without hesitation.

"Xu Lao Protector ......"

Lu Yao and Yanzi glanced at each other, and they were both extremely surprised.

"Actually, my grandfather came up with this idea first. He was sick that day, so I went to visit Xufu. He held my hand so hard that I knew it wasn't that simple. On the day of the funeral, I was supposed to go early and escort him away. I didn't expect to be delayed on the road, but fortunately, things still went smoothly without me. Gan Peilin took a bite of steamed buns and heads, and said slowly: "Right now, Ji Yang is already under the control of the outside, and the court is not so dangerous." But what I didn't expect was that Prince Yin would enter the imperial city silently. ”

"It's really weird." Lu Yao also questioned the people below.

The ears and eyes are concealed, and the wind is not revealed at all.

"If you don't even notice it, it must be someone in the court who is in harmony with it." Gan Peilin thought about it and felt that this person must be one of the high-ranking Prince Regents. "I suspect King Yeqing and King Huiqing."

Swallow nodded: "Not bad." Except for the master, they are the only ones who can do it so well. But...... King Yeqing has always been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, and always wants to be able to fight side by side with his master. He's not going to be fledgling, so he's going to do something like this. The slave is suspected of being King Huiqing. Because of the matter of Qingniang and the illegitimate child, he already has a knot with the Queen Mother, maybe he just wants to hide in the shadows, let the Queen Mother and the master kill each other, and profit from it. ”

"It's hard to say." Gan Peilin became more and more rigorous at this time: "Maybe it's King Yeqing, maybe it's King Huiqing, maybe it's the two of them joining forces." In short, it should not be taken lightly. ”

"That's what Madame said." Lu Yao asked a little uneasily: "But what should I do now?" I'm afraid the master will be criticized. I don't know what tricks the Queen Mother will use......"

"Naturally, he forced his husband to hand over his military power." Gan Peilin said directly: "I am still in the palace, and it is impossible for my husband to have a hard time with the Queen Mother." Therefore, surrendering military power is the best plan. ”

"But the master will not be stable if he does not have military power." Lu Yao thought about the Queen Mother's methods, and shuddered in her heart: "If she can imprison Xu Gongzi, she must also be able to imprison her master." The master himself is not protected, how can he save his wife? ”

"For the Xu family, the safest thing is their house and prison. For my husband, the safest is also under the strict supervision of the Queen Mother. In this way, if anything happens again, it has nothing to do with him. Lu Yao, do you understand? Gan Peilin looked into his eyes and asked.

Lu Yao had a creepy feeling: "Madam, what are you trying to do?" ”

"The Queen Mother is dictatorial, and sooner or later she will uproot the Prime Minister's Mansion, so why not strike first?" Gan Peilin took a deep breath and said, "At present, the confrontation between Prince Yin and the imperial court is beyond our expectations, so we can only wait and see what happens. In the past few days, Lu Yao, as long as you keep an eye on the movement outside, you will never come to see me again if there is no major event. Swallow, you stay with me and serve, and if anything happens, send me a message. Before dawn, there is always a period of the darkest time, get through it, and everything will be fine. ”

"Yes." Two people should go down together.

Yanzi frowned and glanced at the porridge as clear as water, "Which of these things can be eaten by Miss, I'll go and prepare some for Miss." ”

"No need." Gan Peilin called her: "You recharge your energy, we have more important things to do." These simple foods are also very good, and you can eat them with a solid heart.

Lu Yao slowly retreated.

Gan Peilin picked up the bowl and took a sip of rice soup, and then looked at Yanzi: "I have something I want to ask you, but ...... You've got to be honest with me. ”

"Madame, excuse me." Yanzi had never seen her so serious, and she was a little unaccustomed: "The slave knows everything." ”

"The Queen Mother favors the young man, did Jiang Yu install his own people and send them to the palace?" Gan Peilin had long been suspicious of this matter, but he never found a chance to ask.

"This ......" Swallow was a little embarrassed, saying that she didn't know, and that she had indeed heard of it. In fact, the master did not hand over this matter to the slave and maid. But the subject thinks Madame's guess is right. ”

"I didn't pass through Heiyan, and I was able to find a suitable person to send to the palace in a short time. It must have passed through Huo Qing, right? Gan Peilin asked again.

"It should be." Swallow didn't hesitate this time.

"Then do you have a way to contact Huo Qing? Or is it the person who contacted him to send him to the palace? Gan Peilin said with deep eyes: "The emperor is young, and it is impossible for the queen mother to be killed no matter what." But if the Queen Mother delays the affairs and delays the military and political affairs because of her good and lustful, then the Prince Regent can join hands to remove the Queen Mother from power. What I want is that the Queen Mother has no right to intervene in government affairs. When the time comes, try to return the husband's freedom. ”

"It's not hard." Yanzi thought for a moment: "I can find Huo Qing." ”

"Then be fast. The sooner the better. Gan Peilin smiled slightly: "This battle with the Queen Mother has dragged on for too long. ”

said so, but in fact, she was selfish.

The reason why my grandfather cheated his death was so that he could take power from the queen mother and return it to the young king. But my grandfather must not have set up a new king, especially since this person is still Jiang Yu.

So, she had to settle the matter before they withdrew.

The thought of hiding this from her grandfather made her feel uneasy. But for a long time, she has always wanted to help Jiang Yu fulfill her wish. This is also the reason why she continues to stay with him.

When the swallow retreated, Gan Peilin didn't even notice.

Even when the Queen Mother walked in, she didn't notice it. It's just a matter of pinching the steamed buns and heads, and eating them one bite at a time.

"The mourning family really admires you." Wen Xinlan walked up to her and sat down: "No matter what kind of situation you are in, you can be so calm and detached." ”

"The Queen Mother praised it." Gan Peilin put down the food in his hand and got up to salute her. "The concubine is just a layman. If you don't eat a full meal, you feel hungry, and you can't sleep if you have things in your heart. Where is there such a high level as the Queen Mother said. ”

"Hmph." Wen Xinlan smiled slightly: "These days, the mourning family has been dealing with you, but suddenly you are gone, and the mourning family really can't adapt to it." ”

"The Queen Mother laughed, didn't the concubine stand in front of you properly?" Gan Peilin slightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled innocently.

Wen Xinlan liked to see her smile very much, and the corners of her lips were slightly cold: "Do you regret it?" If you followed the mourning family at the beginning, to this day, this half of the harem is yours. ”

"No regrets." Gan Peilin smiled and said, "What's the use of half a harem? If the Queen Mother wants to give, the concubine body must be a whole. ”

"Ambitious." Wen Xinlan watched her drink half a bowl of rice soup, but there were not a few rice grains in the soup: "Look at how many people Jiang Yu has offended." The mourners didn't let them treat you like that. ”

"How can a warm meal be considered harsh." Gan Peilin looked at Wen Xinlan with some surprise: "It's the Queen Mother, how can she see more and more charm, she seems to be much younger." It seems that it is not unreasonable for people to be in good spirits at happy events. ”
